Technical Details

CIS-CAT Pro is a host-based configuration assessment tool. It includes both a command-line interface (CLI) and a graphical user interface (GUI). To support the broadest possible portability, CIS-CAT Pro is a Java application and requires JRE v1.6 or later. CIS-CAT Pro and its JRE can reside on a target system or on any network drive or removable drive that has network access to the target system being assessed.

CIS-CAT Pro can read customized input files to allow members to compare the configuration of their systems with both the CIS Benchmarks and their customized configuration policies. This feature is enabled by user modification of the CIS Benchmark XCCDF files.

SCAP Validation as an Authenticated Configuration Scanner

CIS-CAT Pro Assessor has been awarded NIST Security Content Automation Protocol (SCAP 1.2) Validation as an "Authenticated Configuration Scanner" with the "Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) Option" for specific platforms. Details are available on the NIST website.
